Experiences Expanded
CINEMA DSP 3D

This unique Yamaha proprietary sound field creation technology was created by combining measured sound field data with digital signal processing. Yamaha collected sound field data from famous concert halls and music clubs around the world, utilizing its wealth of experience in the fields of concert hall design, public address and mixing. By digitizing that vast trove of information and incorporating it into dedicated LSI devices, it effectively reproduces the spaces of those concert halls on home equipment. Immerse yourself in the astounding realism of your movies and music with this sound technology.

Every Room is Different
Easy Sound Optimization with YPAO

YPAO (Yamaha Parametric room Acoustic Optimizer) analyses the room acoustics and your system, then precisely adjusts various audio parameters to provide the best sound for your room. By placing the supplied microphone at your listening position and switching YPAO on, the system is automatically tuned for optimum performance in your home.

Optimum Performance
High-quality Parts and Design

All Yamaha AV receivers feature fully discrete power amplifiers to minimize distortion and adopt independent pure power supplies for the analog and digital circuitry. They house ultra-high performance 384 kHz / 32-bit DACs, also with independent power supplies. These support in reproducing audio for high resolution sound sources without noise. Moreover, a new high sound quality IC is employed for volume control and large heat sinks suppress vibration. Down to every detail, this system's AV receiver is designed with full emphasis on the highest possible sound quality.

Worlds of Music

Bluetooth connectivity is also included to stream into your receiver or out from the receiver to another Bluetooth device such as a pair of headphones. The Bluetooth output has been improved, reducing lip sync delays from digital sources.

Multi-Room Audio
MusicCast

Easy Operation
MusicCast App

The free MusicCast Controller app puts control of your wireless AV receiver in the palm of your hand. Use the MusicCast Controller app to operate the speaker, change settings, select your source and control music playback.

Second Room Sound
Zone B

This output capability allows the receiver to send 2-channel sound to a second zone, so the Main Zone now has 3-channel output. This means that users can enjoy stereo sound in a second room. The same source will play in both zones (cannot use two sources). Zone B always mirrors the audio output in the Main Zone.

A Touch of Class
Traditional Design Enhances Any Room

The included speakers feature the elegant beauty of a fine musical instrument. Their clean, stylish appearance matches their high sound quality while their compact design allows them to be placed in any convenient location within the listening room. Keyhole openings in the back allow these speakers to be neatly mounted on a wall.

All About That Bass
Advanced YST II Produces Powerful Low End

The Advanced YST II subwoofer combines negative-impedance and constant current principles to drive the speaker cone with tight control. It optimizes effective speaker impedance to maintain stable and accurate low range response and high sound pressure levels, for more natural and energetic bass reproduction.
